microneedling

What are the benefits?

Wrinkle reduction, texture, tone improvement, and softer, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. New collagen production reverses years of sun damage. Eclipse Microneedling treatment also has a positive effect on hyperpigmentation as well as treating uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, atrophic acne scars, traumatic scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and stretch marks.

Little Downtime: It is a perfect treatment for patients with a busy schedule.

Natural Recovery: SkinPen’s mechanical process is versatile and usable year-round.

Safe for all Skin Types: Clinically proven effective on all skin types, Fitzpatrick 1 – 6 (including darker skin tones).

Safe and Sound: The First FDA-cleared microneedling device on the market, and comes with very few side effects

Comfortable: A light numbing cream may be used to minimize discomfort

The three phases of the wound-repair process:

Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.

Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

Best of all, SkinPen works. Ninety percent of subjects in the clinical trial would recommend the procedure to family and friends

What areas can be treated?

SkinPen® can be used on all parts of the body: face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.

How is the microneedling procedure done?

A sterile needle tip containing 12 tiny micro-needles is attached to the SkinPen®. Your skincare professional will apply a thin layer of topical gel to your skin and select the appropriate treatment depth based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered.

What does the microneedling device feel like?

The feeling associated with the SkinPen® is similar to sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating needle tip makes the treatment comfortable.

How long does the procedure take?

The procedure takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.

What is the downtime?

Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time depends on the depth of needles used and the number of overlapping passes your skincare professional performs. On average, patients are red for 2-4 days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.

When will I see the microneedling results?

Patients notice an immediate "glow" to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. Results continue to improve up to 6 months after the treatment as collagen production continues.

How many collagen induction therapy treatments will I need?

Some patients only require a single treatment, once per year, to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks, or acne scars, it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals.

Will microneedling work for me?

Unlike most alternatives, SkinPen® has been clinically shown to be effective for women and men with skin ranging from skin types light to very dark. Likewise, SkinPen’s mechanical process is less abrasive than harsh peels. In addition, when you properly space treatments that are overseen by a physician, the procedures can be administered year-round.
